Hi. Trying to upgrade our clusters from RL8 to RL9.3. Launching a remote desktop is failing with the pile of errors below. I suspect the “CRITICAL” ones from GtK re. themes aren’t actually the problem and its the “warning” for dbus-update-activation-environment which is the actual problem?
The desktop job does start/doesn’t crash, it is just the novnc browser session does its strobing waiting-to-connect animation forever.
Any suggestions gratefully received. The only change from a working RL8 config was having to also install dbus-x11 to provide the dbus-launch command required. Other packages:
